Starships receive most of the glory, but these stations offer safe harbors and defensible locales upon which the fleet relies. 1. The Inquiry-class was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the late 24th century. A database URL has appeared in the menu! With the other Odysseys several years away, Starfleet decided to continue producing Aquarius-class ships to serve different purposes, as they had carved out a niche for themselves that was distinct from other small starships: they were far less maintenance-intensive than the Defiant and crew-intensive than the Diligent or Nova. The Block I vessels mounted eleven Annular Confinement Beam-jacketed Type-X phasers, with the Block II adding an additional two arrays to its nacelles that were then retained on the Block III. As her classification suggests, the Aquarius-class is meant to escort her mothership in combat situations, providing nimble fire support and scouting capabilities that the massive Odyssey-class lacks. Unintuitively known as GSE-8 after SpaceX chose to scrap one of the original seven planned tanks earlier this year, the company wasted no time installing it shortly after its two-mile trip down the highway. As an example of a typical scientific task for this class, an Aquarius may be tasked with collecting biological samples from one planet while the mothership explores another planet in the same system. Height Copyright 1997-2021 Bravo Fleet Role Playing Group. When the Aquarius-class was presented to Starfleet Command it was quickly approved, but with the added request that an additional design be developed that could operate more independently. The height of the design was static at 20.2 meters, allowing for four habitable decks. Aquarius over one of those vessels for many missions those ships were designed Concerns arose regarding the potential for flaw exploitation that could cripple the fleet if only a single design was fielded. When docked, the design had a length of 112.6 meters and beam of 50.1 meters, while in flight, with the nacelles extended, the Aquarius was 110.02 meters long and 80.07 meters in width. Angus walked the bustling Starbase 10 for the last time before the Vashon's departure after repair and resupply. As the threat from the Dominion increased and a full-scale war erupted, Deep Space 9 earned a reputation for its vital part in guarding the wormhole and preventing reinforcements from entering the Alpha Quadrant. Technical Specifications for Aquarius class ships expected duration: 10 years time between resupply: 1 month time between refit: 1 years category: Light Escort/Scout/Patrol Personnel: officers: 6 enlisted crew: 16 marines: 0 passengers: 0 Speed: cruising speed: Warp 6 maximum speed: Warp 9.2 emergency speed: Warp 9.855 (for 8 hours) Winner of the '12 & '14 Simming Prize, SB400 is a Nova played sim. The class also carried sixty Type A Mark VIII Autonomous Survival and Recovery Vehicles (ASRV), each with their own berth. He can be found on Twitter at @CaptStobie. Unlike a captains yacht, an Aquarius is a utilitarian vessel with no luxuries, not even a dedicated conference room, let alone a holodeck. Hayes, a Dominion war veteran that commanded a Defiant class Auxiliary Craft Whilst the events of the past few weeks were still a bit of a blur to him there were a few things that had permeated the, Angus traversed narrow corridor of the Vashon bound for main Engineering. . the first Commanding Officer of the USS Odyssey once she is launched later in Unlike the embarked craft of previous designs, such as the Waverider and Aero, the Aquarius-class was designed with the ability to act more independently of its parent vessel. An Aquarius docking with a Yorktown-class starship. With its sprawling arms covered in cityscapes, interior tunnels funneling starships to their births and awe-inspiring transparent exterior, Yorktown represents the peak of Starfleet engineering. vessels. Panther - Aquarius Class . By the early 2390s, the class has been given a generous production run and is becoming increasingly common in Starfleet service in lightly populated and low-threat areas. In this sense, the starbase performed the role of securing a particular region of space, much like K-7. Watch. Due to its classified mission, Regula I did not permit casual guests or publicly announce its true purpose, whereas other Federation starbases tended to do so. However, after a strong start, GSE tank work seemingly halted for several months and it wasnt until August that SpaceX first enclosed one of the then three installed tanks with a sleeve designed to insulate their cryogenic contents. escort type vessel capable or docking within the aft bay of an Odyssey class Star Trek: The Pod Directive Returns for Season 3, Admiral Red Shirt: Patriarchy on Trial in Star Trek: The Next Generation, WATCH | Star Trek: Picard - Looking Back at the Legacy of Star Trek: The Next Generation, WATCH | Star Trek: Picard Season 3 - The Ready Room Premiere Special, What Star Trek: The Next Generation Taught Me About Family. Another such station was . small engineering bay is on Deck 3 and is manned by two officers and four Warp 6 (cruising)Warp 9.2 (maximum) After STARBASE I want to ask more questions like how is it doing that?, where did that come from? and figuring things out. 80.07 meters (in flight)50.1 meters (docked) I am proud to announce we are now live. For instance, a science officer might be selected to command one during a survey mission, while the motherships first or second officer usually takes command during combat missions. The Aquarius-class was a type of Federation light escort that was designed to be the auxiliary craft of the Odyssey-class starships. While crew members aboard the Aquarius might never interact while among the large crew of a starbase or Odyssey-class ship, the much smaller environment of the Aquarius lends itself to either making new friendships or letting minor annoyances foment rivalries. When open war erupted between the Federation and the Klingon Empire in 2405, Starfleet Command tasked the Corps of Engineers to assess and suggest upgrades for the vessels of the fleet. Oh, I forgot to mention something else, I actually think that the Aquarius would have a version designed as a standalone ship, with bigger tanks and such, maybe a a pocket Defiant idea. 2409 The Aquarius-class was protected by an ablative neutronium alloy hull and two Stalwart 88L Unified Deflector Field Emitter Arrays. Crew Quarters - I admit that I was wondering "what are the numbers" originally as most don't put numbers on but specify bunk beds in the room description, however, in my opinion for a small ship like this they are quite large, lot of open space, and maybe drop some of them to be a max of a 4 berth with attached toilet, personal opinion there. TheAquarius-classwas a type ofspacecraft developed by Starfleet in the early 25th century. Before even that process is possible, though, SpaceX will need to finish plumbing GSE-8 and several other tanks, install the last two insulative cryoshells, and finally fill the annuli between all seven tanks and their shells with an insulative foam-like material known as perlite. 8 (maximum) June: Outer hull work complete and Ablative Amour applied. The narrower two-deck upper section consists of the bridge, officers quarters, the science lab, the cargo hold, the brig, the aft torpedo launchers and magazine, and deuterium tankage, while the more expansive third deck contains the crew quarters, main engineering, and the forward weapons, and the narrow fourth deck is a strip between the nacelles (when retracted) that includes the computer core, antimatter storage pods, and a tiny shuttle bay, which is capable of supporting a single shuttle; deck four has the highest deck height of the ship, as it extends down into the sub-structure of the hull. The USS Visionary, Sagan Class, NCC-82895 and the USS Pegasus, Odyssey Class, NCC-1702-C. As such, the aft section of the Odyssey variants were converted into docking ports for Aquarius-class light escorts. The 2019 air show will feature aerobatic Concho Valley Students Attend STARBASE Goodfellow STEM Camps, Liberty Air & Space Show Feature STEM Zone. The Aquarius was launched at the same time as the Odyssey, and her trials were uneventful. Starbase 400 @Starbase400. development), the Aquarius class light-escort has recently taken on a life of It was accessed via two doorways, placed towards the back on both the port and starboard sides. Beam Built out of the same factory and parts as the steel tanks that make up most of the two-stage Starship rockets structure, SpaceX completed the first two of those ground support equipment (GSE) tanks in April and wasted no time installing both at Starbases orbital launch site (OLS). The Aquarius-class starship was a Federation light escort designed as an auxiliary craft of the Odyssey-class. San Francisco Fleet Yards San Francisco Fleet Yards October: Internal fitting begins. Mission Statement: To expose our nations youth to the technological environments and positive civilian and military role models found on Active, Guard, and Reserve military bases and installations, nurture a winning network of collaborators, and build mutual loyalty within our communities, by providing 25 hours of exemplary hands-on instruction and activities that meet or exceed the National Standards. This week, 24 children grades 4th through 7th are attending Starbase Goodfellows Engineering Camp. There are several umbilical connection ports across the ship to interface with the Odysseys docking cradle: two primary power, fuel, and consumables hardpoints as well as torpedo loading ports forward on Deck 2, two torpedo loading ports port and starboard, aft on Deck 1, and two magnetic docking latch receptacles forward on deck three. At the bridge's rear was a small briefing area that contained the corvette's Master Systems Display on the starboard wall and a tabletop computer access terminal. This small ship has a generalist science lab aboard, and its specialty is sample and data collection, which it then ferries back home. Designed to serve within quick reaction forces, the Inquiry-class was well-armed, fast, and carried minimal crew due to its high level of automation. The chair was flanked by small control panels which the occupant could use to monitor and access ship systems. Excelsior did undergo tests and early transwarp trials at the starbase. The ship is equipped with an EMH and typically embarks a medical officer and an enlisted medic. He hadn't had a good night sleep. 2409- United Federation of Planets Certainly for many of us the stresses COVID has placed on us have taken their toll. While lacking the firepower and protection of a Defiant or a Diligent, the Operator Sick Bay With the use of the cargo doors, this can even be used to install external sensor modules or other such equipment. expected and exceeded all of his expectation. Aquarius is deadly nonetheless. The Aquarius-class bridge was located on Deck 1 and had a compact design. Deck 4. general fleet use. The Aquarius class was designed using components from several other classes, notably the Defiant, Nova, and Diligent, emphasizing ease of maintenance and miniaturization. The Aquarius is not going away, I am using my first opportunity to truly holiday in nearly 2 years to re-energise how I operate this sim. Initially, it was envisioned as a much more significant component of the Odyssey, but this was deemed unfeasible. Francisco for Immediately in front of flight control was the viewscreen. its own. We're in the very early stages of a new render, but for now, enjoy these. The Federation outpost Regula I worked toward a very specific goal in the Mutara sector during the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Environmental systems installed. Though the initial design had a wide range of operability, the designers revisited it and decided to go with a fixed-wing layout that allowed them to make use of more powerful warp engines. The ship was headed out for month long deployment patrolling one of the middle region patrol routes. Decks If or when implemented, that would allow SpaceX to resupply its two planned orbital tank farms with minimal effort or human intervention beyond the process of producing the propellant. Construction started on four more vessels. The afterschool program and summer camps build upon the foundation . March: Basic chassis completed. Specifications Viewed by many tactically minded Admirals and Officials at Starfleet and various other duties now being handled by older runaboutsthat really Aquarius-class May 2021 bring better fortune for all. Create your own Star Trek: Lower Decks avatar! Services. September: After full power weapons testing the ship is deemed The Aquarius-class was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the early 25th century. March: Primary hull construction begins. 2390: Brig area - My opinion is a bit of wasted space, but I tend to put the main security office in that area, maybe add a small armoury in the area as well. The progression of the war shifted the purpose of Starbase 375 to an unexpected trajectory, again displaying the adaptability required for Federation stations to operate at maximum efficiency. The stationmaster is Commander David Nurenberg - cause trouble, . Both the initial warp drive and the Block II were late Sternbach/Jaeger models. Crew quarters are fitted. This site is a repository of in-game universe building. To the starboard were the operations and engineering stations. Reliant, attached to Regula I as a scout vessel, most likely traveled to other stations for its upkeep. trials by her test crew lead by Captain Kenneth Hayes, the man assigned to be For several years, the only two members of this class produced were assigned to the Odyssey and Verity, which were launched significantly earlier than planned to participate in the Romulan Evacuation. I do have a few issues, mostly ones that I've run across and done myself in the early days of my interior diagram works (a lot I haven't posted though due to burn out and lack of drive to finish them) that could add a bit more space to places. crewmembers. #WenLift@NASASpaceflight pic.twitter.com/Ob9X0O3Koc. nacelles first designed for the Diligent class to allow it to dock within the However, some starbases deploy them as leaders for squadrons of runabouts, which allows for firepower multiplication. Starbase 400 . Jay Stobie is a science fiction writer who admits he has a perfectly normal obsession with Star Trek. Sectors devoid of core planets require a place to repair starships, offer respite to weary crews, and fortify Starfleet's presence outside of prominent systems such as Vulcan, Andor, Sol, Tellar, Betazed and Trill. Why would Starfleet also construct these large outposts in seemingly innocuous systems rather than only near worlds central to the government?
